John Gaunt: My Resume for the position of Director of ACMOC

Hi, John Gaunt.
Thank you for introducing yourself and giving us some of your background and experience. It gives me a much better picture of who you are and your qualifications and abilities relevant to the position of a member of the ACMOC BoD.

Thanks again.

Thanks John.

What a good idea to have a chapter 2 representative on the board. After all we are all one big association, being an ocean apart's no reason to not have members worldwide joining the management team, especially in this day and age of information technology.
If it transpires please don't concern yourselves toward my bias toward John. Lol Regards Gordon.

There was a post here this morning from Lee Sorbel, our President of the club. What happened to it? Where did it go? Why are things being covered up?-glen

John: If elected, will you publicly commit yourself to service on the board for the full three years of your term and also promise to the membership that you will attend all monthly board meetings on the telephone and one two-day meeting each year in person at Peoria, Illinois as well as the annual shows in Portland, Indiana next summer and then in Brooks, Oregon in 2011?

What ACMOC board committees are you interested in serving on?

Travel from the UK is expensive, but as already mentioned, there is a $500 US stipend available for both the Peoria spring meeting of the board each year and the annual show in the fall.

I would ask all future candidates to make a similar pledge.

I think it would be great if we could hold the club's annual show over in the UK in 2012. Would you head up that effort with Chapter 2?

Gordon with freinds like you John has lost my suport. I fail to see your your humor, you make it sound like members from the UK were never given the oppertunity to run for BoD or not allowed to. That is not the case if you look back in many past issues of our newletter or on this BB you will see that the cry went out many times for members interested in running for election for BoD and needing members to fill a quiters vacancy. and in most cases they didnt get any reponses and started calling and almost begging to take a place on the BoD. It wasnt long ago they needed someone to fill a vacancy and started calling around Tom Madden was first to turn then down and I'm not sure where I was on the list but I also turned them down and on the 17th try they got Don to agreed to it. If you look back just in recent yrs many of the BoD members wernt elected they we begged to come aboard, Don Dougherty Rick Keane,Ron Meeder( 2 times), George Howard all started on BoD by being begged to take some quiters place. That should show you that its not easy to find prospective BoD canidates and many arnt man enough to finish the job and few have left for other reasons, but in most cases they quit because they didnt like it when things didnt go their way and those are the guys who need to keep their mouth shut (beause when they had the chance to make a diff they ran) and let the men who were man enough to hang in there do there job.

Willie you need have a think. My post was in support for john. I fail to see how on earth anything i wrote could be misconstrude for for anything you suggested. Not withstanding the fact that my post was directed at chapter 3 and not you.
Only one line was tongue in cheek and i meant what i said.
Not one word of mine suggests that i refer to UK guys not being given a chance. I am not concerned with the politics because thats history. To say you have withdrawn your support for john because of my post .....ridiculous. For your information i am not johns friend. If he wants to stand for a position on the board then he has my support as offered OK. What is it with people ? i post my support for a fellow countryman and i get politics rammed down my throat or have i hit someones raw nerve ? in any event i dont need IT OK.
Regards Gordon
